I Traded the World's WORST Salvage Jetta for a "Mint" Turbo Porsche Sight Unseen! 

Grab a leaf blower!

Pie 4life you were trying to make fun of this guy and don't even know how to right

Odalis Espinal just wrote the same thing, missed you comment at first! It is incredible how much hassle a little think like a blocked drain can cause !

Odalis Espinal yep my vw turaeg did the same shit in Michigan it sucks ..

I've done the drains on my Touareg and my parents cayenne lol damn vw

Cosmin Diaconescu are you romanian?

Vasile Costin are you romanian?

Philip Szente my Touareg v10 did that, had an absolute nightmare with electrical gremlins, money pit 🙄

I had the same issue with my bicycle

sounds like a similar issue i experienced with my penis

Yup, the driver seat was the giveaway. Anything foreign is a giant nightmare when it comes to wiring. Mercedes used biodegradable wiring harnesses way back in the day on their bullet proof models lol. Smart has a real nice issue water will find its way in under passenger carpeting where battery is. Overtime that drain will clog eventually you’ll flood that computer out. Mini and Volkswagen both like to solder their tail lights to the contacts. Usually a new tail light unless you got the tools and small hands. Sometimes you get lucky but wiring is not fun. I had a mint 87 Benz omg I loved that car. Was a real nice car. Probably drive that over my 2013 Mini S any day. Stalled nobody could figure it out. Fuel Pump relay. I soldered one twice and replaced it. Car could of come with a soldering Iron. It’s a known issue. Not many know about that intermittent stall or no start. If you got a W124. That’s almost a guarantee or over voltage protection. Although a W124 is an over engineered bullet proof car it’s almost always electrical. At over 200k owned one for awhile drove nicer and better and I even took it on 1,000 mile trips 25 years later lol. Mercedes execs will admit that car is over engineered but you’ll have to know the wiring. Lol. Sold that car to someone who shipped it to Poland. Point is electrical ain’t fun. I always say OEM or better when it comes to electrical. I see guys at Costco buying lead acid batteries when the car came with AGM it’ll work. But unless that cars coded lol. May give you a hiccup or not last. AGM charges and drains differently. When I say over engineered it means the car lasted longer on repairs than the manufacturer wanted it too. People don’t understand this. A refrigerator only costs 2-10k based on the fact the consumer dosent buy it regularly same as a mattress. They gotta get a 1,000 percent mark up to justify the fact they won’t see you back on market for awhile. That was a W124. Benz actually admitted it and called it a mistake. People seem to think high end or more money means more reliability. Absolutely not the case. Reliability is usually up to chance. Everyone of these manufacturers wants your shit to break sooner or later. Dyson makes a solid product. Very expensive. Can last. You’ll be back. Apple. Same thing. A machine from 2006 could run the latest version of macOS. Apple wants you back for the next model. Lol. The minute apples sales dwindle two options. The device needs to break faster or cheap out on build quality and charge less to maintain the same margin or take less profit and sell for less to entice more volume. Lol. They’ll probably do all 3. I use to say this to rich people in sales. You can’t really buy quality. If it existed they’d be out of business. 10k Apple Watch gold. Overpriced and obsolete. Life expectancy from a consumer and a manufacturer are largely different. Gillette was another good one. This guy came up with a cream. This is no joke. 100% real. Basically you never have to shave if used daily. He was gonna sell it. Here’s what happened he sold it to Gillette. Gillette shelved it and destroyed it. Intentionally Razor blade purchases are more profitable and they don’t last as long. Their could of been other issues as well. But selling the cream kills a billion dollar industry. Manufacturers aren’t your friend. That’s how you can fix these things cheap with a little know how.

soooo glad I didn't buy that Touareg

man that's a lot of good intel :)

That sounds like hell damn

Resuming: do a service to the car and minor things and will be ok lol

Filipe Gomes I’m not sure what your definition of “minor” is, but it’s different than mine. Pulling the engine to do chiming chains or any other engine out repair is a minimum of 30 hours of labor by an experienced Porsche mechanic and requires a special jig that independent shops are not going to have. You also have a decent potential for cylinder scoring at any moment which will leave you with a car that is destined for the scrapyard due to the cost of engine replacement/repair. I didn’t even get in to the exploding plastic coolant pipes/failed starters and torque converter seals because the pipes have likely been replaced by now due to the mileage. They eat tires like crazy (20,000 miles maximum) and you’re lucky to get 15mpg. Don’t get me wrong they’re not all bad, there’s a reason why I owned two up until very recently. They drive like a sports car (at least the 957 with pddc) they can go through a foot of snow in the winter, they’ve got loads of power and will throw you back in the seat like you’re on a roller coaster. If you’re going to buy one and can live with the large threat of cylinder scoring, buy a well maintained one in good condition. It will cost a little more up front but it will save you a TON in the long run.

vettefan8 Hello, NON ASE Certified, VW/Audi/ Porsche tech here, with ONLY 25 years experience, working on mostly hard driven, heavily modified cars. Want to prevent bore scoring? Stop running that PISS oil the factory specs for these things, and drain it every 4000 or less. BMW spec 10-60 full syn, with a heavy zinc content is the cure for what ails you. The oil galleys in these things are large enough to handle it. Anything less and you’re dancing with the devil IMO. Viscosity and oil pressure are your friends. That’s the issue here. We can wax poetic about poor engineering, temperature fluctuations, etc. At the end of the day you’re running what amounts to a race engine, on Toyota Camry oil. Fuel injection, and turbocharging technology have improved massively over the years, but metallurgy, and the basics of these engines have not. High Specific output = Thick Oil Unstressed Grocery Getter = Thin Oil This isn’t complicated. I read all the service bulletins, and keep up to date, but you need to take certain things with a grain of salt in the modern world. Oils are no longer specified by what protects the engine best. They’re spec’d by bean counters and attorneys. Modern oil specs have more to do with CAFE standards, and EPA regulations than anything else.

B K I’m. Going to have to disagree with you a few things. It is widely believed that a majority (but definitely not all) of the cylinder scored vehicles are from northern/colder climates and the majority of the wear/damage is happening on startup. Putting in that thick of an oil is the last thing I would want to do to a Cayenne Turbo in a cold climate like Minnesota. I extensively ran shell t6 full synthetic and changed it every 5,000 miles (which is about twice as often as recommended in the owners manual by Porsche)on my 957 Turbo because it is known for its extremely high zddp (zinc) content, so much so that they don’t recommend running it in vehicles with catalytic converters because it can damage the cats if your vehicle burns even a little bit of oil. It might have helped extend my engine life (who really knows) but at 165,000 the dreaded cylinder scoring on cylinder 5 decided to appear one morning out of nowhere. I don’t think that it’s something that can be avoided completely (especally in cold climates) and I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the effected years develop cylinder scoring eventually. I don’t think there is anything that I would do differently with the 957 if I was given a chance to start over (except maybe move to a warmer climate). It’s just a flawed design that was supposedly fixed later on 2009+, I don’t see any type of oil being able to prevent it forever on 2003-2008’s.

Also, don't forget to change the oil in the diffs and transmission ASAP as well. Found metal shavings in my front diff fluid, glad I changed it when I did (even though it doesn't say in the service schedule).

GarThor Son of Odin where’s the update for this car?

This is an even worse money pit than a Jetta. It’s an already famously unreliable needlessly complicated tourag with a bunch of added Porsche complexity added on to make it a nightmare. Dump it or drive it off a cliff for the RU-vid views.

Because most the time they only can afford to drive it, not fix it

I don't think Doug said anything about the guy being the original owner, it could be that it bounced around from one person to another.

Flash 🇿🇦 Wrong channel 😂😂😂

This Guy yup

Everything changes but stays the same

He changed from "expensive because frame fucked up", to "expensive, because expensive other stuff is broken"...:D ABS+Traction control might be a bad sensor. When one goes bad, the whole system shuts off. Airsuspension might be the height sensor or compressor. Tranny needs new oil and a flush, should do it, when not, well, expensive. Also I would do a engine oil flush and clean out the oil sump snorkel filter, because on old, not well maintained cars they tend to clog up. Better safe than sorry in that point...:D A new Xtrons or Avin android headunit, a proper cleanup of the whole thing and checking the engine, and it should be a nice car. Should.

Fucknuts lmao sue happy? You are a fucking idiot

THIS!!!!

I bet it smells like mildew as well, mixed with nasty cigarette smoke of course

This 100%, plus get it up in the air. Wouldn't bother trying to save if it has serious rust. The potential good news (?) is that a lot of the probs with this car might just be related to the water intrusion. It's not uncommon for the wiring harnesses along the front driver and passenger foot wells to get corroded from moisture and cause all sorts of strange electrical issues. If not too bad, might be able to fix cheaply.

@@jae9843 THIS! You both are so correct!! I hope he sees this because I'd absolutely pull that seat out and rip that carpet out first. You definitely need to know if there is major rust issues first!!!!

Especially when its from the Midwest and especially Ohio with all that ice and salt

@@kalamazoo-Fcar here in the youtube comment section, yea it kinda is.

What year was yours? How much did you buy it for, and did you sell/repair it?

f266101463 I had a 2005 Turbo with 90k miles. I only had it for a week and the dealer allowed me to return it but I did lose some money on the deal. I paid $10k for it.

The good news in the this case is that it made it to 150k miles. It seems like if cylinder scoring is going to rear it’s head, it’s going to happen between 60k miles to 130k miles.

@@googan88Was the car from the north? I read that cold climate Cayennes are more likely to have this issue.

f266101463 Mine was a Georgia and Florida car all its life. Dealer maintained with thousands in service records I read that cold weather can cause it but unfortunately I wasn’t so lucky.

This is a brilliant idea

I don't think Ed would go near this. Too modern and full of electrical crap that's a nightmare to fix. Give him a classic and he'd sort it!

Yea but he's got a new curse now! lol

No man, when you trade a cursed car the curse duplicates, when you sell it it curses anything you spend the money on and if you reuse the parts from the cursed car it transfers the curse to the repaired car. You can only lift the curse if you burn the car with Russian low octane gas.

@@2Skills4u this is 2019.. not 1980 bro. If you signed a waiver from then all youl be doing is causing a scene for your self

@@2Skills4u - "park my car in front of business" - Yeah right, most every new Car Dealership has the City pass/adopt temporary short term or NO Parking in the most visible front dealer zones (they figured out that there's always somebody out there willing to park a "Lemon" in the most visible areas)... Now for a quicker method at resolution: I once had a 'ripoff' issue with a car dealer; I gave a couple of friends an old school VHS video camera, attached a fake corded microphone along with a working portable light. We then proceeded to stand outside acting like we were broadcasting from their lot. The salesman & manager recognized me (I was the guy being interviewed), so they invited us all in as long as we agreed to halt the broadcast/taping. At this point they capitulated to my demand for satisfaction ! - Elapsed time? less than 90 minutes...

@@lewisjohnson9087 so if you took your car to a shop that you've never been to and saw a guy out front dedicating his time and effort into showing the terrible work done on his car, you would still drop yours off and gladly pay half up front? If you say no (like you should), then saying "all youl be doing is causing a scene for your self" is clearly not true as even a single days loss of business can hurt. Even if you disagree, the damage to the shops reputation would be permanent especially if social media was used to your advantage.. which is ironically something no one had the benefit of back in 1980.. a time when men were actually taught about the benefits and necessity of taking action rather than bitching about problems no one cared about. It really seems that this knowledge has been lost to time with more and more young men assuming it pointless to even try. You'd be surprised at how little weight the threat of a waiver actually holds

Possible something you walk on.......or keep walking past that that car.

I think he meant "fire free"

I looked at used vehicle once described as having "no issues". I discovered issues upon inspection. Naturally I asked what the seller considered 'issues'; he said the only issues that matter are engine or transmission. In his mind it was of no consequence the AC didn't work (in Florida, mind you), the tires were cracked and dry rotted to the point they wouldn't make it home, most of the body panels were terribly aligned, and the interior reeked of spoiled fish. Looked good in the pics though.

Maybe he meant ‘floor free’ and Sam is going to find out the bolt is missing from the seat because the whole floor is rusted out from years of Ohio winters.

@@rcairforceone Oh man you are so right. It happens so frequently that I don't think people are trying to be dishonest. They honestly don't care that stuff isn't working. It's been broken for so long that they forgot the car had that feature.

Quite possibly but I think the paint mismatch is the least of his problems with that piece of crap!

The 2nd gen is way better

And he especially said it was "mint" in the email.

The body isn't mint, I noticed a few dings and scrapes/scratches.

Nostromo Crew It’s not a lemon; it’s a high mileage car with deferred maintenance. There’s a huge difference. This is effectively a $2500 car as it sits, and Sam shouldn’t be paying retail to fix these things. Used parts, and doing the work yourself is the name of the game.

@@jorahgarrison2594 yeah i stayed at a orlando hotel a few years back and they were on the walls and everywere

Thanks Zut Man, you're my favorite!

that is a famous quote, it is a good deal when both parties feel like they were screwed, something like that.

I can second that. When I got mine, the first thing I did was took it to for rust-proofing - they got over 20 litres of water out of the sills.

Totally agree. This car is a basket case. If you saw it on a used car lot, you would not be attracted. I see thousands of dollars just in parts. The transmission issue could be thousands alone, not even including labor or the value of your time. Diagnose the transmission before deciding whether to spend any more money on the thing.

You're generally right, but there are exceptions to everything. Personally, my 15-year old car has about 7 different problems (5 of them cosmetic, 2 functional) and 200k miles on it. Would never call it mint. BUT there are people around who keep their cars in perfect condition. I've seen 1990s Audis with perfect paint jobs, in perfect condition. The "oh it's just a cheap sensor" excuse can also sometimes be true. I'm selling a 20 year old car that isn't mint by any means, but it requires about 3 different, very cheap parts. I'm just not replacing them myself because I don't have the time to deal with this car anymore + it wouldn't raise the value of the car much.

And that cruise control light is there for same reason, just new ABS/speed sensor and 3 light is gone.

@@pirttila2729 yeah, when any malfunction with brake (or e brake) or traction control happens, cruise control is disabled
